Be it known that l. ,l'hnrrnn N!) A. Penman, eitizen of the United States, residingat in the county ot Philadelphia and State. of Pennsylvania, have invented. (certain new and nse'lnl improvements in Automatic Stocking-.lhiers; and fl do here by declare the 't'ollowing' to he a toll, clear, and exact description o'l' the invention, snoh as; will enable others skilled in the art to \vhioh it a n'ierlaius to make and nae the same. i

* Thin invention relates to iinproven'ients in drying machines, and more particularly is related to nn'n'ihinea for (trying stockings and the like.

The present invention aims to provide a 1n aehine oi the ClilS-i referred to designed for continuous operation, and whirl; is no eonstructed as to greatly increase the speed and rapaeity of machines previously einplo ver l 'lor this purpose, and at thesame time produce a machine that is more oompaet in the association of its parta thus: rendering the machine adaptable to less tioor spare, and obtaining therewith inrreased ell'ieieno in the drying of the stoolrings.

l urtherniore, the invention ha n view the provision of a stovlcing drier wherein the introduotion ot the storlringa to the n1achine and their remo 'a'l therefrom. shall he automatically nu-formed, and in regular snreeasion, the Htutli'lnlfs during their movement from the feeding to the delivery mechanism being nulijerted to the notion of the drying agent that, nnaterahly, is nuiintained in a state of cirenlation in relation to the path of movement; of the storlrings, whereby to freely act upon the stockings, so that when the latter reaeh the delivery mechanism they will be deprived entirely of the moisture with which they were charged at the time oi intri'n'luotimi to the machine.

A further object of the invention is. to provide a n'iaehine ot. the eharari'ter referred to wherein the stoekings, (hiringtheir transit through the machine, Sllitll be $113 ])ended without eontiu'rt with parts of the maohine, thereby precluding the marking of the etoekings that now occurs in the use of the maehines commonly employed, by reason of contact of the moiststockin s with the supporting elements'ot the machines.

Having these generai'ohjeeta in view, and

a detail elevation others that will appear as the nature of the improvenmnts is hotter understood. the invenlion eonnists, substantially, in. the novel eonstruethm, eomhimition and arrangement of parts hereina'lter fully described, illustrated in the aeeompanving drawings, and pointed out in the appended Claims.

While the form of the invent-ion that is illustrated and desrrilled herein is lniilieved, at this time, to he a preferred emlnidiment thereof, it is ohvious that the same is sus roptihle oil change and variatiom and the right is aceordinglv reserved to modify, change or vary the nlarhine as; falls Within the spirit and scope thoreo'l.

in the drawings:----l igure 'l is a side elevation of an automatie storlcing' drier constructed in areordaime with and emhodying tliejn'inriplen of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view taken at right annlea to the position ot the maohine as illustrated in l ng. l, and also partly in section. liig. 3 is a top plan view ot the marhine. Fig. 4: is a. detail elevation. on an enlarged seale, oi the teedmeehanism and theoperatingmeans Lherel'or. l ig. it is a top plan view thereof. Fig. ii is an end view oi the n'iorhanisni illus trated in llig's. -'l and 5, and illustratilur also the delivery merhanisnl that in asuoeiated for operation with the feed nn-olmnisni. Fig. i is a detail plan l'ltW of the delivery mechanism. Fig. 8 is a plan view ot the feed and delivery guides, illustrating their relation to the lnaehine easing: and the supporting devires for the storlringgs. l ig. El is oi the guides illustrated in Fig. 8.

- Referring now in detail to the lraWings. the numeral '1 designates; the easing of the herein-do."rrilied inaehine, \vhieh easing is tin-med of suitable material. and the same is e vlindrieal, said easing heinn supported upon any suitable hase.

\Vilh'in the l'aslng 'l is an annular supportingdiase 2 having: an in\vardl v-extornllug flange 3. and mounted upon said flange 9. for rotaitio upon the hase 2 is a worm wheel l having an .upwardlvextending eollar 5 at its upper tare upon \vhirh is titted a e vlindriral drum 0. This; drum eonstitotes the carrier :for the storlrinn's or other articles to he dried during the drying open ation, and the same extends snhstantia l; through the length of the easing 1. K l

worm wheel fit meshes with a. worm '7 that is carried by a shaft 8 that PIOJGCtS through the casing 1, and is driven in the manner hereinafter described.

Vi ithin the drum 6 arranged a series of heating coils 9, thrtmgl'i which steam or other heating medium is designed to he circulated to the tennperature ot the air, these coils being connected to a header l0, and mounted at the upper end of the casing G is a spider 1] having a hub 12 at its central portion into which extends a vertical sl'iatt 13 that projects at the upper end of the casing l and is provided witha pulley H for driving purposes. The shaft 13 is loosely titted in the hub 1.2, and immediately above the latter said shaft is provided with a fan 15 wl'iereby the air caused to circulate within the casing land drum 6. The upper end of the drum 6, is, of course, open, so that the air will readily enter the same from the upper end of the casing 1, and be driven hythe fan 15 in a downward direction and over the coils 9, the air passing from the drum 6 through a plurality of openings 16 arranged at suit-able points in the drum (3.

The shaft 3 is sustained by a suitable journal box 17.

in order to support the stockings within the .-asing '1 during the drying operation the same are mounted upon "forms 18, and through the medium of these forms the stockings are distended in order to permit the circulated air to freely act thereon and dry the same. That the forms 18 may be properly supported the end thereof opposite to the foot portion is provided with opposit'elyhrraiiged cleats 1S), and these cleats are designed to rest upon a plurality of radially extending supporting fingers 230 that are arranged al'mutthe peripheral .t'ace ol. the

drum 3. 'lhese tin -(rs are s outed a nut sutfieient ly to accommodate the thic messol the torms l8, but not suiiiciently to permit the clea s 19 passing tlierebetween, and, consequently, these cleats serve to hold the forms with the stockings thereon in suspended position. 'ihe cleats 15) also serve to prevent the forms 18 warping.

As illustrated in the accompanying drawlogs, the fingers 30 are arranged in two superimposed series. lt: is obvious, however, that the number ol these. lingers, and the nun'iher of the series thereof will he determined by the capacity triat'it: is (losirml to impart to the n'iachine, so that the latter may have one, two or more oi these series as may be desired.

llaeh ol the opening 16 is arranged in such ptsition in the drum 3 that the heel more, where itis desired to have the machine of large capacity a plurality of. the feeding and delivery mechanisms may be arranged at dill'erent points about the peripheral taco of the casing, and in this event it is, of. course, obvious that a plurality of slots 21. and 22 will be provided in accordance with the number of feed and delivery mechanisms th at are employed.

in the present machine the rotation of the drum (3 is relied upon for timing the actuation of the feeding and delivery mechanisms, and to the accomplishment: of this end each ot the tingers is provided with a contact lug 23 that projects upwardly ilicretrom. These lugs successivelycontact with a de-. pending abutment 2 1: that is pivotally mounted to the under side of a locking pawl that is slida'hly mounted in guides )6 arranged at the outer side of the top of the casing 1. The abutment 24 is designed to swing in the direction ol the length of the fingers 20, when the latter are below or immediately l1 eneath said abutment, and when in normal position the abutment 34 is in the path of moveinem' cf the contact lugs 92), so that in the rotation oi the drum (3 said lugs strike said abutment. As the drum 6 rotates with a continuous movement the abutment 2 moves with the lug 33 that is in'unediately in engagement therewith and until it is disengaged trom the lug, and during such movement the locking pawl 25 is caused to slide in toe guides 26 against. the stress of a retraetile spring 27. During this movement. said pawl is disengaged from :1 depending stud 28 carried by a crank disk 29 that is mounted for rotation in a support The ing arm 30, thus releasingsaid disk. latter has at its under face a bevel gear that meshes with a similar gear 32 carried by a shaft 353,-said 'sha'tt projecting at the exterior of the casing 1 and having a pulley- 34 mounted upon its outer end to be operated by a friction belt 35 that passesover a pulley 36 mounted upon a shaft 37, which latter is also arranged at the exterior of the casing l. During the locked position of the disk 29, or during the period that the pawl 25 is engaged with the'stud 28, the. belt 3:) slides around the pulley 34, and hence the shaft 33 does not rotate, butimmediately upon the pawl being released from said stud 28 the crank disk 29 is rotated by said belt The slide 35, and during this rotation of said disk :1

Wet stocking is fed into the machine and a dry one removed therefrom. This is etlected by the feeding and delivery mechanisms which will.now be described.

The numeral 38 designates an outwardlyextending guide that forms part of the sup porting arm 30, and movably mounted in Ltiiiid guide is a slide 39 the edges of which are beveled or dovetailed in order that said slide may be retained within said guide.

39 supports the feeding and delive'ry mechanisms of each of the series or is precisely the same in construction. referring to 4t, 5, tion of the feeding and -is clearly illustrated, and from these it will bar 4.0 and slide toward and away from said disk. Mounted the boarded decks of: the supporting lingers 90, and each of these mechan sms,

tor-each oi the series, liy (l and 7, the construcdclivery mechanisms be observed that a vertically-extending bar 0 is connected to the slide 35), at the upper end of which bar is pivotally connected one end of a link 41, the other end being connected to'the crank disk 29, as at t2. 'lhcrefore, upon each rotation of the disk 2.) the 39 are caused to be moved upon the bar =10, and immediately below the slide 39 is a pusher t3 with which is associated a stop 44, the latter projecting in the path ot the stocking forms, when at the cxterior ot the casing l, in order to hold the forms in position to be projected,through the inlet slot 21. These forms are mounted upon inclined guide rails 45, arranged at the exterior of the casing 1, and the wet stoclc ings, mounted upon the forms, pass down these guide rails 45 by gravity, so'that one is always opposite the slot 21 to be projected thercthrough. The cleats 19 form the m vans by which the forms are suspended upon the guide rails, and at the lower end of the la tter the rails are spanned by a transverse bar 46, which provides a Stop to limit the downward movement of the forms carrying the Wet stockings, and positioneach oi the latter opposite the slot 21,. It; is observed, however, that the bar 416, at its end immediately contiguous to the casing l, ,is spaced from the inner guide rail 4L5to permit passage of stocking into said casing. The bar-46 also constitutes a slide upon which the'clcat 19 inni'iediatel conti uous thereto the inner side of the casing l, is. arranged i cleats 19 upon 'whereon the pusher a guidefinger 47, Wherebyto directthe the two fingers 20 that lie opposite to said slot. The inward movement of the forms is effected by the pusherettt.

.At-the side of the bar 40 opposite to that "13 and stop .14: are -arranged are the delivery means. This eomprises a supporting arm 48th which is.

bmgedly connected a'del'ivery arm 49am:

'ment to the slide ing an engaging head 50 at its inner end, a spring 51 being arranged between the stop 14 and the delivery arm 49, and exerting its tension to norn'lally force the latter away from the stop 4- 1. The arms 48 and 49 are spaced from the stop 44: a distance correspending to the distance between the slots 21 and 22 in the casing, 1; consequently, the delivery arm 49 is opposite the slot 22, and is true to pass through the latter when the slide 39 is moved inwardlyby the movement of the disk 99. When the delivery arm 45) is projected into the tioncd immediately in the path of the ad- \zlllttlllgltl'lttl stockings, the head 50 passes in rear of the inner edge of the form that is next adjacent to the slotv Q2, and on the outward uuovemeut ot' the slide 39, thc deliverv arm withdraws the form with the dried stocking thereon through the slot 32, guide,tingcrs 51 being arranged at the inner side of the slot in order to direct the Form with the dried stocking thereon to a pair of delivery guide rails 'lhe spacoat: the ends otJhcse rails is spanned by a transverse bar 53, similar to the bar it), and this bar 5;} 'irovides a guide for one ot the cleats of the form asthc latter emerges from the casing l. A guide pawl 54 is pivotally mounted upon the casing l, the end of said pawl coiipcratiug with the bar 53 to direct the outward movement of the form that carries the dried stocking, and on the next inward movement of the supporting arm 48 and the delivery arm .19 said arm moves the form carrying the stocking that has just been withdrawn from the-casing away. from the bar fit and along the delivery guide rails 52, this movcu'ient being imparted to the form by a beveled time 55 that is formed atthe inner end of the supporting bar 48.,

The bar eltl'is braced in relation to the slide 31 by a stay rod 56, and when the machine employs a plurality oi series of the fingers 20, as illustrated in the acompauying drawings, the feeding and delivery mechanisms at the lower part of the machine are arranged at the lower end of the bar '1-0. As imlicated, these are of precisely the same construction as above described, but in the lower necessity for employing the contact lugs 23, these. being merely necessary in the upper series in order to give the required move- 39 and the parts carried by and suspended therefrom.

For operating the machine power is taken from a counter-shaft 57, which latter is connected by a twisted belt 58 l-t,'whereby the fan 15 is driven, and said shaft 57 is also connected by a belt 59that passes over a pulley (it) carried by the shaft 37, whereby the latter is given rotation. A belt-61 connects the shaft 37 with the shaft 8, so. that; the worm is driven from said casing the same is posiwith the pulley 63 carried by the slide 53!).

shaft 37, movement of the shaft 8, however, being necessaialy slow 1n order to nnpart .slow rotation to the drum 6.

In order that the swinging abutn'ient 24' with a contact arm 62 which contact arm is designed to be engaged by a releasing finger -Whei'i the slide 39 is projeetetlyinto the casing 1 the finger oiiengages the arm 32, swinging thc la hntinent, 2% on itspivot, and removing its ldwer end from engagement with the contiguous contact lug 23, \vluu'mipon the locking pawl 25 is retracted by the spring 27, and theend thereol projected into the path of the stud 28, in which position said locking pawl arrests rotation of the disk 29 until the loclv ing pawl 25 is again released by the contact; lug 23 of the next succeeding linger 20.

That the downward swinging movement; of the abutment 24- may be limited. said abutment is provided with a stop Gdwhich engages a limiting tooth 5 at .the under side of the locking pawl 25.. i

It desired. means for exhausting the sat urated :iir from the casing 1 may be our ployed, and such means are illustrated con ventionally in Fig. 3 z s a fan driven from the shaft 57. Any form, however, of exhauster may be provided for this purpose.

In the operation of the herein described machine the forms 18 bearing the wet. stockings are placed upon the guide rails 4.5, and

gravitate in regular succession thereon, the

lmvermost form coming to rest at a point opposite to the slot 21. Ass soon as the looking pawl 25 is released from the crank disk 99, in the manner previously (lescribeth said disk comn'ienees to rotate, and by the link 41 moves the slide 38) in the guide 38 in an inward direction. As the lowermost form in. the guide rails 45 is resting against the stop 4-4, and therefore is in the path of movement of the pusher ill. the latter pro jUCtS this particular form with its wet stocking through the slot 2i, and between the two.

supporting lingers 90 that are opposite to said slot. With this inward movement 'ol the slide 39 the releasing linger (33 is moved into contact. with the arm (32 of the abutment 24., swinging the latter uponits pivot,

and thus permitting the locking pawl to be retracted by the spring 27 to the point where the pawl will be in the path of movement of the-stud 28 car1'ied;hy'rtl1e disk-29, and'when this'stud engages the pawl the disk. 29 again comes to rest,- It is to be observed that the inward "movement of the slide 39 occurs onthe first half revolutionhalt revolution ofsaid disk. Simultaneo1; xiv with the passage or" the stop 44 and pusher 43 into the casing l for introducing the stocking to be dried, the supporting arm 4:8and the delivery arm 49 are also projected through the outlet slot 22, entering in advance of the next dried stocking to be removed, the delivery arm 49 yielding, by reason of the spring 51, against the advancing movement of the form, and the engaging 50 ot the arm' 4-9 taking against the head inner edge of that particular form. As the slide 39 recedes, theform with the dried stocking that is no w engaged by the delivery arm 49 passes out of the slot 92 and upon the delivery guide rails 52, the cleats of that term sliding upon the bar 53 and the pawl 54. As the releasing finger 63 leaves the abutment. ll, the latter swings back to its normal position, or in the path of the next. advancing contact lug 23, and as soon as engagement of the latter takes place, the

locking pawl 25 moves with thecontaet lug,

again releasing the stud 2S, a-nti perrnitting the crank disk 99 to make another re'vohr lion, where-at another wet stocking with. its

lorm is projected into the casing and uhon the supporting fingers, and another dried stocking removed from the casing. At, the time when the sup 'iorting arm 48 and delivery arm 4-9 are passed into the casing the beveled face 55 of the former, acting as a wedge, moves the forms of the dried stockings along the delivery guide rails 52, thus making a place thereon for the form of the dried stocking that is to be removed from the casing when said arms 4:8 and 49 are projected therefrom, so that the forms of the dried stockings, as they accumulate on the guide rails 52, are gradually displaced from the position in which they are delivered, and. moved along said rails. The drum 6 continuously rotates, and during its rotation the fun 15 is also being operated to project 'the air downwardly over the coils 9, and out of the drum 6 through the openings 16 into the space between said drum and the easing 1, in'which space the air rises to the top of the casing, and is again drawn into the drum by the .tan 15. It will, of course, be understmid that provision may be made for exhausting the air from the casing 1 when the air becomessaturated with moisture, for which purpose any suitable means may be employed. As the air under the blast of the fan is forced out through the openings 16, the air'is brought into contact with the heel portions of the stockings, thus insuring drying of the, same. The feed guide rails 45 are, tilled from time to time with the forms ear-lying the moist stockings, and likewise the delivery giiide, rails 52 freed from their accumulation of the forms carrying the dried stockings, so that after the machine has been set in operation it isonly necessary to maintain a proper supply of moist stockings onthe feed guide rails, the inclination of the latter causing the forms to casing, a rotatable c gravitate to the inlet slot 21, there to be introduced to the interior of the rasinc' 1 by the feeding mechanism described.

From the foregoing description it will he seen that the present invention provides a machine which is designed for continuous operation; one "which materially increases the speed and capacity of machines commonly ennjiloyed :for this purpose, and at, the same time provides a machine that is more crmlpact in the association of its parts so that the same is adaptable to less floor space. .l urthermore, by suspemling, the forms .18 through the medium of the cleats 19, the stockings, during their transit through the machine, have no contact with any of the parts thereof. This precludes markingof the stockings which commonly occurs in the machines now usually employed in view of the necessity of resting the moist stockings upon the various supporting elements of: the machine.
